Sacrament Sunday at St Edmunds.
In the afternoon Julia and I went to church. When we returned home we found Mrs Burrows, her son and Miss Harriet Sherwood, they arrived about 3 o’clock, we spent a very pleasant evening. Julia and I went as far as “Kite Hill” home with them, it was a most pleasant walk, on our return home we saw Miss Ann Cooper who came to the top of the hill with us, where meeting her sisters and a few more friends, who had been to Ebenezer Chapel she returned homeward with them, and we pursued our journey alone. We arrived home by 9 o’clock, then read a little, played a few tunes on the concertina and then retired to rest.
